[Compilation] iPhone 5 Walletcases/Leather/Pouches/Sleeves

esfrost said:
After almost one month of waiting for the Knomo iPhone 5 cases, i decided to cancel my pre-order and get myself one of these almost identical leather pouch.

http://www.icaseleather.com/iphone_4s_bortok_1/thin_series_1 (they arent up to date, and i know the site says the pouch is for 4s)

I talked to the manufacturer and they were very very helpful. I ordered a black one for my i5 via phone.

These are 5900 HUF which is like 27 bucks. They offer free "shipping" in Hungary, so i was really happy. They produce these pouches in a small village, called Bonyhad, in a leather factory, they are all hand made. Cant wait to see and feel how it is. There isnt a big variety "inside sewn" genuine leather pouches out there.

Just got the case, and i must say that its by far the best leather pouch i have ever tried (in my oppinion its even better than the Knomo and even better than the Sena cases). Fits the i5 perfectly, its tight, very very well made, and the sizing is perfect as its almost adding NO bulk to the phone. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for something elegant, minimalistic, and real. And because it is genuine leather its going to get better and better with time!

and here are some pictures:

I am waiting on the Sarach....if identical to the IP4S one...its beautiful, and thin with a unique way of removing the phone.

Ordered Friday and got it by the following Wednesday. I ordered the black and aqua one. I did request a smooth leather texture. You'll love it. It's really high quality and I did a lot of research before ordering a sleeve. This was exactly what I wanted and less than $100 which was a big requirement. Enjoy it!

Hmm oh well it's been sent already and I didn't request smooth leather. Too bad it's probably not gonna be smooth then. Oh well, hopefully I like it anyway...
 
Can anyone comment on the pouch that they received from ikonic edge? I find the pouch to be quite a bit longer than the phone, whereas the iPhone4 pouch used to line up quite well.

I wonder if they used a die-cut they already had for another device and just renamed it for the 5...okay, I've gotten cynical. Can't help it. Just sayin'...

You've got great taste in iPhone wallets my friend. :D
Click to expand...

Thanks, you too :D. Can't wait as am really excited for that one.

I have not seen that Brussardo and iLid for iPhone 5 in person but quite possibly they are the best sleek-looking & sexy iP5 cases out there regardless of style. Hehe

Saw the 4/4S Sena Hampton Flip earlier in an Apple Store ... so maybe Sena Hampton flip, Brussardo Leather Wallet and iLid for iP5 are the best of the best iP5 case ever I have not seen in person / still being made :p.

How do you like it over the bookbook? Also, do you think the wood surrounding the phone will protect it from drops?
Click to expand...

I have both. Book book for 4s tho. I will say for sure it adds more drop protection over the bookbook. The balsamic birch completely protects the phone. I can't say I prefer it as it hasn't been used yet. But quality is amazing. Fit is perfect. The phone is secure and I don't see any scratches developing because of the way it is held in. It's a gorgeous case. And it has cutout for camera and flash. It's my favorite case so far. And I've tried many of them. I recommend it for sure
 
Sena Case. Yeah I love it, but with the headphone jack moving, it does make me go want to buy a bluetooth headset.

I just slip it in with the bottom up when using my head set. Also use mic controls to tell Siri what to play next instead of slipping the iP out to play next selection.
 
I don't have time to read 20 pages of replies and I looked at most of the links but could not find what I am looking for...

Does anyone know of a leather case that is not a sleeve or walletcase, but is just like a regular case shape with the back and sides covered and screen naked?

Yeah I've started to do the same, but I have the 1% of ears the new headphones were not made for, so they slip out on occasion.

I admit, I'd love a very very thin case that had a REAL leather backing something similar to the Blackberry Bold. Just hate the added bulk.
 
If you want a hand stitched leather sleeve for your iPhone you definitely have to check this one. I just bought it from http://atelierpall.com and I really love it. It took about 2 weeks to ship but the wait was worth it. Nice packaging too.
